"when i go nto a sweet sop and they are still selling the kind of sweets they sold when i was a kid, like barley twists and cola cubes and rhubarb and custards (which were gross) and, my favourites, aniseed balls (guess i've always had a thing for sucking balls!)" There is a shop in Renfrew along from the swimming baths which sells all the retro sweets which you mentioned. | |||

The scenery is breathtaking and its a great destination for a holiday or a wee break to get away from the hussle and bussle of your daily day to day life. Once i sober up today i may take a drive up to a place called The Rest and be Thankful and just sit in peace and quiet for a while. Only takes an hour to get there by car.
